Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey therearm chunny Mack with five good

2
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:12.679
news stories. Now you're probably saying yourself, Hey Chunny Mack,

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.919
kind of random question for you. How long does it

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.879
take a large desert tortoise to cross the Southern Arizona Highway.

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.000
That's a great question. Well, we've looked into this. A

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.920
motorist contacted authorities report a tortoise trying to cross the

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.399
road halfway between Casa Grande and Tucson. Sergeant Steve showed

8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.679
up to grab the tortoise, and then he saw that

9
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.439
the tortoise's shell had the word stitch labeled on it.

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.280
He contacted an Ostrich ranch that was three miles away.

11
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.520
The ranch confirmed that Stitch was one of their tortoises.

12
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.560
So we don't know how long it takes across the road,

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.799
but we do know a tortoise can go three miles. Now,

14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.640
I'm not an expert here, but I'm going to guess

15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.719
that the stitch the tortoise had been out for more

16
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.399
than five minutes. Meanwhile, inside one of the most extensively

17
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.119
researched historic sites, the Church of the Holy Selpiture in Jerusalem,

18
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.640
researchers have discovered the largest known medieval altar. The altar

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.079
from the year eleven forty nine made an impression on

20
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.319
visitors for many centuries, and then it disappeared from public view.

21
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.840
Following a major fire in part of the church in

22
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.000
eighteen o eight, people thought that the Crusader's altar was lost.

23
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.599
How did this happen? Well, in a rear corridor of

24
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.359
the church, a stone slab weighing several tons had been

25
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.599
leaning against the wall for who knows how long. Graffitied

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.439
on the stone slab. They turned it around for construction

27
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.719
work and it revealed a true artistic heritage. It was

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.840
decorated with beautiful ribbon ornaments, which enabled its identification as

29
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.239
the once magnificent front panel of the medieval Crusader Altar.

30
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.560
One of the researchers said, the fact that something so

31
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.040
important could stand unrecognized in this of all places, was

32
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.799
completely unexpected. This is interesting. A water powered electric bandage

33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.519
can heal serious wounds thirty percent quicker than conventional treatments,

34
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.480
according to a new study. Now I'm hung up on

35
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.000
the words electric and water, huh okay. The inexpensive bandages

36
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.079
use an electric field to promote healing and chronic wounds.

37
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.280
One of the co authors of the study said, our

38
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.000
goal was to develop a far less expensive technology that

39
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.800
accelerates healing and patients with chronic wounds. We also want

40
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.479
to make sure that the technology is easy enough for

41
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.439
people to use at home, rather than something that patients

42
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.240
can only receive in clinical settings. The dressing is applied

43
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.080
so that the electrodes come into contact with the wound.

44
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.319
A drop of water is then applied to the battery,

45
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.199
activating an electric field for several hours. According to the researcher,

46
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.039
it's well established that electric fields accelerate healing and chronic wounds. Again,

47
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.120
don't take any medical advice from this show. I have

48
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.520
no idea what I'm talking about, Johnny Mack. We doing

49
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.199
a Guinness record today, Oh yes, we are. The Mexican

50
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.479
state of tlaxcala As set a record by serving up

51
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.840
more than thirty thousand basket tacos in one hundred and

52
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.680
eighty six different flavors. That's right. They gathered more than

53
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.680
one hundred and fifty taco chefs to assemble and serve

54
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.800
the tacos during a Sunday event in Mexico City. The

55
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.199
tacos included varieties such as potato, pork rinds, and beans,

56
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.680
as well as creative combinations including potato with sausage and cactus.

57
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.400
Flaxicala has a previous Guinness record, this one for the

58
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.360
longest sawdust carpet, which was nine and twenty four feet

59
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.240
and eleven inches long. Hey, don't forget. We've got that

60
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.840
new show, five Minutes of Gratitude. What is it? It's

61
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.879
five minutes long and its mindfulness about gratitude. Let me

62
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.000
pull up the episodes on the back end. Examples include

63
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.919
the joy of laughter, the gift of home, the power

64
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.319
of kindness, the wonder of our bodies, the joy of food,

65
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.680
the gift of time. You get the idea five minutes

66
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.199
of gratitude the number five minutes of gratitude wherever you

67
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.599
get your shows. Now, pay attention to this headline. You're

68
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.960
gonna think I misspoke. At least twice, a kangaroo has

69
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.879
escaped from prison. Police and the Czech Republic we're on

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.840
the lookout for a kangaroo that has escaped near Prague.

71
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.960
That's right, None of that makes sense. The prison is

72
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.240
home to animals including kangaroos, rabbits, llamas, and roosters. They're

73
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.719
part of a prison program that allows prisoners nearing the

74
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.560
ends of their terms to learn skills including farm an

75
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.319
animal husbandry, and kangaroo care. But somebody let the kangaroo out.

76
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.080
We'll let you know if the kangaroo is caught. And

77
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.599
those are your five great news joys for today. I

78
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.639
just love the headline kangaroo escapes from prison in Czech Republic.

79
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.360
Didn't expect any of that. If you enjoy the show,

80
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.120
tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

81
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:19.160
See around
